Aloha,
The Pentax 645D is the finest camera I have ever owned, and more broadly and not less in importance is the lens line up!
As a system, which is how I think about things, it really seems unrivaled
I'm sure the 645D II will be even more awesome.
I've shot with the Nikon D800 and the Canon 5D mark II
prior to the 645D I shot with the Canon 1ds Mark II, it was my first digital camera after using film; it was a love hate relationship. During the last year of using the 1ds i keep hoping it would break, but no such luck, its built like a tank!
Canon 5D mark II forget it not even close!
Nikon D800 or D800E is a serious camera to be sure and the lens line up of Nikon is vast, when you start adding lens to the system, the price quickly puts you into the 645D system territory. In terms of cost there is little gain to be had. in terms of image quality I don't think there are many people that shoot for a living and know how to get everything out of their cameras in regards to image quality; that would seriously put forth the notion that the the Nikon could outperform the 645D in regards to IQ
but image quality is just one factor, lens selection, AF speed/accuracy, frame rate, quality of build, and menus functions are a number of issues each photographer needs to ponder when choosing a system.
Would 50mp be enough to move me off of my 645D onto the 645D II probably not, maybe when it breaks down completely.
Although one of the primary reason I bought the 645D was large file sizes for bigger prints, when taken as a whole system it offers so much more, and frankly it is an absolute pleasure to shoot with. 50mp won't make that big a difference in that. But, then again when you are always working to the limits of your equipment every little bit helps.

Aloha,
well after a lot of research, it comes down to this;
I will buy the 645D
can anyone tell me where to research lenses that will fit this body, suggestions are welcome as well. discounting the new 28mm whats the best wide angle that takes a front filter?
anyway I'll start looking around on this site.
thanks, Lee
